Lawns aren’t really the issue for utah. Agriculture uses something like 70+% of the water, and a lot of that is flood irrigation or other inefficient irrigation. The water is mostly used for crops like alfalfa that get exported to places like China.

The governor, unsurprisingly, is heavily invested in alfalfa farming, so do the math.

Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.

I’ve told many (usually new) design engineers that they’re stupid for asking for 0.001" tolerance on parts when they only need 0.005 “or 0.010”. The difference between 0.010" and sub-10 micron is easily a factor of 100 in most parts, ESPECIALLY when you’re talking larger steel components like panels on a freaking car.

It’s pretty bad when you’re this misinformed and frankly, extremely ignorant on a topic and then make a comment like this.

Define “conservative”

Welcome to the trolley problem.

That account specifically is a bot, as it says in its profile and as its creator said.

As always, the tradeoff that money buys, as in almost every case, is time.

Once you do it the first time though it’s pretty easy to do it the next time.

Freefilefillableforms.com

Free for everyone, has links to all the necessary forms and literature, etc. Linked by the IRS on their how to file webpage.

You do NOT have to pay a service, despite tax preparation services acting like you have to.

I’m spooked by the fact that you have no idea how the US enriches uranium, or the difference between a power pressurized water reactor and a fast “breeder” reactor (if you were thinking of plutonium) or a centrifuge.

The US enriches uranium using a gas-centrifuge. The US also no longer recycles spent nuclear fuel, but France does.

It also means that the difficulty in taking over taiwan, from China, is also that much more difficult.

Every nation that trades with Taiwan has a vested interest in getting past, or preventing a Chinese blockade of the island.

China cannot defeat the combined navies of South East Asia + pacific + USA, plus the coastal batteries and medium-ranged missile capability that taiwan is building up.

China, at best, can attempt to bomb the island into nothing, which also isn’t exactly palatable.

Luxemburg doesn’t anymore

Did you just compare letting non-active bots on a server to killing babies? Okay if that’s the comparison you really want to go with, I guess.

It’s very easy to sit on a high horse and say you’ve never had a negative impact due to your ignorance, when your own ignorance might include things that you don’t know are detrimental to others.

Are you perfect? If 7 billion people analyze your actions will none of them find you at fault? Because if even a single one does, then by your own standard, you should never be allowed a second chance by anyone.

Everyone has to start somewhere. We should reward honest effort instead of punishing honest effort but ignorance.

That’s about what YouTube creators would get for the same amount of hits, which still doesn’t make it a lot but I think it’s an interesting comparison.

If you’re talking about the Clathrate Gun hypothesis, that’s no longer considered relevant for the near-future climate crisis.

I’m not sure I want to “get along” with fascists.

My personal theory: to offset activity losses and show shareholders that they can still drive engagement.

When r/politics was created, and for a vast majority of reddits existence, Americans made up a majority of reddit, and for a long time made up a supermajority.

Of course there was a US-Bias.

Sorry guys, gotta leave.
